The College of Public Health at the University of Kentucky is seeking a faculty member who’s focus will be on interdisciplinary research to expand and deepen understanding of the characteristics of aging and factors that limit or enhance the quality of life of older adults and those who care for them. Of particular interest is addressing "long-term care" from the broad point of view that this encompasses care at home through the continuum of care to an institutionalized setting. This position will be expected to develop an innovative externally-funded program of research to complement existing areas of expertise in long-term care, community outreach, life-course and environmental perspectives on aging and older adults. Preference will be given to candidates who are able to teach courses that integrate content of health disparities and issues affecting racial, ethnic, and geographically diverse populations. Other activities will include engaging in collaborative interdisciplinary research, mentoring doctoral students, contributing to an emergent emphasis on undergraduate education, and participating in the instructional and service missions of the Graduate Center for Gerontology and the College of Public Health.
